Research

Mayo Clinic's clinical trials are helping to diagnose and treat bipolar disorder. Some areas of research include:

  • Drug treatment options. Mayo Clinic scientists seek to create better and more-targeted drug treatment options based on changes in brain imaging patterns, brain metabolism and genetic makeup.
  • Genetics and medicine. Mayo is a leader in pharmacogenomics research, which is the study of how genetics can predict how a person will respond to a medicine. One focus of Mayo Clinic research is connecting specific genetic profiles with responses to specific antidepressant drugs used to treat depression.

Mayo Clinic is the primary site for the Individualized Medicine Biobank for Bipolar Disorder. This biobank of people with bipolar type I and II is a resource for the bipolar research community. A biobank is a collection of biological or medical data and samples.

Research: It's all about patients

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Joseph Sirven, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Mayo Clinic: Mayo's mission is about the patient. The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
